Do you mean the Tonsils and adnoids? If you do I had them out at age 9. It is not a severe surgery but does hurt. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids NO DAIRY! and eat ice chips and jello. No matter how hungry you are or if you feel like eating, don't! I thought I could and had a bad experience! . Do have it done. I had it done for a different reason, I kept getting sick and they were too small. But enlarged is much more common. God bless you and I how everything goes well!
